MOON AT THE WINDOW Lyrics

Artist: Joni Mitchell
Album: Wild Things Run Fast

It takes cheerful resignationHeart and humilityThat's all it takesA cheerful person told meNobody's harder on me than meHow could they beAnd, nobody's harder on you than you

Betsy's blueShe says-"Tell me something good!"You know I'd help her out if I only couldOh, but sometimes the lightCan be so hard to findAt least the moon at the window--The thieves left that behind

People don't know how to loveThey taste it and toss itTurn it off and onLike a bathtub faucetOh sometimes the lightCan be so hard to find--At least the moon at the window--The thieves left that behind

I wish her heartI know these battlesDeep in the darkWhen the spooks of memories rattleGhosts of the futurePhantoms of the pastRattle, rattle, rattleIn the spoon and the glass

Is it possible to learnHow to care and yet not care--Since love has two facesHope and despairAnd pleasure always turns to fearI find--At least the moon at the window--The thieves left that behindAt least they left the moonBehind the blindMoon at the window
